Q: Clear up next podcasts?

The Up Next section of my podcasts are playing casts that I've already listened to. How can I clear that section so nothing is there and I can start anew?

 

Thank you in advance!

    When you're on the first screen of the Podcasts app, select Unplayed, rather than My Podcasts. In that mode only the episodes you have not listened to, or marked as played, will be shown.

     

    You can also turn the setting to Delete Played Episodes ON, but that might take at least 24 hours to take effect.

    I'm not sure you understand my question. You can only view the "Up Next" section while a podcast is playing or on it's "play page" by selecting what looks like a reverse bulleted icon next to the fast-forward-fifteen button. There, under "Up Next" are all the podcasts I've already listened to and once a new one has completed, the program automatically jumps to the one I listened to previously. I would like to clear all of those (which are already marked as "played) so that the app doesn't jump to anything at all. This way, I can redo the list from scratch.

     

    Thank you.

    When you start playing a podcast from Unplayed, the Up Next list will be pulled only from the Unplayed episodes.

    Give my way a try...
